Carefully place and fasten the lid. Voila! Subsequently, I would use tank water if you are using the cannister with bio-balls. It is easier to preserve your bacteria colony. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright |

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003 | No, I already tried simply filling it with water. I knew enough to try that. I found a copy of the instructions manual online, so I'll try what they say there, and if I have any problems I'll ask again.

Have hoses in tank. Turn unit on - the magnet driven impeller should start pushing water right away. Wait about 30 seconds and shut the unit back off. Water will rush back down through the hoses and will fill displace the air that was left in the canister above the fill line. The hoses in the tank will bubble that air out and you may need to wipe up some bubbled out tank water. Turn unit back on - and away it goes with no splashy air sounds. |
